We recently were diagnosed with milk, wheat, egg and peanut allergy. My DD has been on nutramigen for some time now and about the time she started it she has been sick w "asthma like symptoms" and ecZema. I can't help but think she's allergic to the formula! Drs keep telling me it's highly unlikely but I actually know someone personally who's child was still allergic to it. I've decided we will be weaning to soy milk immediately since DD is almost 1. She was tested and has no reaction to soy whatsoever. I guess I'm posting to see if any other moms had babies that still couldn't tolerate the nutramigen. DD symptoms are extreme cough and congestion. To the point you would think she has RSV or something bad. Even though they say the milk proteins are broken down I believe she's allergic to the milk in the formula.

Thank you so much for your reply! What were your DD symptoms if you don't mind me asking? Tummy issues or congestion etc? My friend's little boy had of course bad stools but congestion as well. The allergist suggested neonate but with her turning 1 in a few weeks I feel like it may be worth weaning to plain ole soy milk rather than buy neocate with its price.
